Vision

Every Media Missionary has a Missionary Mindset, a mindset which is gripped with the urgent question: "How swiftly can I share what I have received from EWTN?!”

Mission

Since its founding, the Network's mission has been to spread the Eternal Word, and to teach others that Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Media Missionary volunteers respond to that mission by sharing the message of the Gospel through EWTN.

Objectives

Our department supports the Media Missionaries in their work to evangelize with EWTN, it grows by giving folks the opportunity to become Media Missionaries, and it maintains the means of providing this support and growth. 

The Media Missionary Mindset is one in which we encourage all of the Media Missionaries to have and grow.

 

A Missionary Mindset is one gripped with the urgent question, "How swiftly can I share what I have received from EWTN?!” 

 

Missionaries understand that they are called to be distributors of good news as well as consumers, or as Pope Francis states, we no longer say that we are “disciples” and “missionaries,” but rather that we are always “missionary disciples.” 

 

Missionaries and distributors are always eager to pass on that which can help equip others to grow in their relationships with Christ and His Church.

Yes.

As an EWTN Media Missionary, you can do as little or as much as you like! From Prayer Warriors (who pray for the network) to Area Coordinators (who coordinate other Media Missionaries in their diocese), your efforts are appreciated and very much needed to help those we can, spiritually.  Do not worry about wasting what we send you, God can touch anyone anywhere, and together with you, we want to be tools for Him to use. Sharing at your parish, with family, friends, in your community, with strangers, is what a missionary does. Share about the beauty of your faith and EWTN! 

EWTN is an independent, non-profit organization. As a Catholic apostolate, it does not have shareholders.

EWTN is led by Michael Warsaw, Chairman of the Board & Chief Executive Officer, and Doug Keck, President & Chief Operating Officer. They, together with the Vice Presidents and Directors of EWTN's various departments, run the day-to-day operations of the network. A Board of Governors oversees operations of the network.

There are several bishops who serve on EWTN's Board of Governors. In addition, a large number of cardinals, archbishops and bishops from the U.S. and around the world have been featured guests on many EWTN programs.

EWTN has an excellent working relationship with Vatican Television and regularly collaborates with them in transmitting major papal events from around the world. Also, in 2009 EWTN Foundress Mother Angelica and the late Deacon William Steltemeier were honored to be recipients of the Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice (the Cross of Honor) from then Pope Benedict XVI for distinguished service to the Church.

EWTN Global Catholic Network is dedicated to teaching the truth as defined by the Magisterium of the Roman Catholic Church. In keeping with St. John Paul II's call for a New Evangelization, EWTN's mission is to communicate the teachings and the beauty of the Catholic Church and to help people grow in their love and understanding of God and His infinite mercy.

In the early 1960's, at the invitation of the local Bishop, Mother Angelica, a cloistered Franciscan Poor Clare nun, founded a monastery in Irondale, AL, a suburb of Birmingham. The first step in her evangelization efforts was to write a series of "mini-books" on a variety of religious themes. As their popularity grew, the monastery acquired its own printing press to print them and began to distribute them across the country.

The popularity of the mini-books led to many requests for speaking engagements by Mother Angelica, which evolved into a series of her talks being taped at a local television station. Eager to bring this message to a much wider audience, the idea of a Catholic television network was born. 

It began in 1981 when Mother stepped out in faith and transformed the garage of her monastery into a TV studio. Today, through God's Providence and those supporting Mother's mission with prayer and financial sacrifices, that humble beginning in 1981 has become EWTN, which now reaches more than 230 million homes in more than 140 countries and territories worldwide.

No. EWTN has grown and is now the world's largest Catholic media network, consisting of eleven television networks, three radio networks, a worldwide short-wave radio station, Internet website www.ewtn.com, electronic and print news services, and a publishing arm.
